Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common liability case queries.

What Makes an Employer Legally Responsible for an Employee’s Bad Acts?
An employer is typically responsible when the employee’s harmful act happens while they are doing their job or using the employer’s resources. This is called “vicarious liability.“ The key question is whether the employee was acting within the “scope of employment.“ For example, a delivery driver causing an accident while on a delivery route creates liability for the company. If the same driver causes an accident while on a personal road trip, the company likely isn’t responsible. The connection to the job is crucial.
What are the main legal claims against false reviews?
The two most common claims are defamation (harming reputation with a false statement of fact) and tortious interference (intentionally damaging a business’s contracts or relationships with customers). A business might also sue for false advertising under consumer protection laws if a competitor is behind the fake reviews. These claims allow a business to seek money for lost profits, damage to its reputation, and sometimes the cost of having to correct the false narrative in the marketplace.
What should I do if I suspect a defective part caused my accident?
First, prioritize safety and medical care. Then, if possible, take photos of the vehicle, the accident scene, and any visible part failure. Do not repair the car or throw away any broken parts—they are key evidence. Report the incident to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and check for recalls on your vehicle. Consult with an attorney who specializes in product liability cases immediately, as these claims are complex and require swift action to secure evidence and navigate laws.
What does “due process” mean in cases of unfair treatment?
“Due process” means the government must follow fair procedures before taking away your life, liberty, or property. A violation occurs when they act arbitrarily. For example, if a city revokes your business license without giving you notice or a chance to defend yourself, that is a due process violation. It doesn’t guarantee a specific outcome, but it guarantees a fair process. This applies to things like license suspensions, terminations from public employment, or seizures of property.
